I have noticed that most knife knuts like to tinker with things, like to be prepared and carry a lot more than just a knife. I am curious as to what you folks either carry or keep in close proximity every day an example my Buck 119 rarely rides on my belt but is always in my car. So here is what goes in or on my pocket, belt or car everyday. A Buck 119 (in car), SAK Classic (on key ring), flashlight with pocket clip (on belt), a SAK of some kind either in my pocket or in my car (today a blue alox Farmer in my pocket), modern folder, (today a Delica in a sheath on my belt), a traditional knife in my pocket (today a Case Teardrop), Leatherman Wave (in my car), Arkansas Stone in a pocket slip, a Winchester knife/money clip with driver license, credit car and a few bucks. Seems like a lot but I bet there are a lot of you that carry as much if not more so show us your total EDC.

Old pic, but the only change has been the Northwoods stockman got replaced by a Buck 301 stockman. And most times a North American Arms mini .22 revolver is in a pocket holster.

I'm far too lazy to compile it all for a picture, but...

On my person:
Random GEC in a slip
Mighty wallet
Keys on my belt loop
iPhone
Fox Hanx (sometimes)
Gum

In my car:
Can of Ballistol
An old Maglite 3D
A big SAK (I'm not a SAK guy, so I'm not 100% on the model)
 
That Northwoods is beautiful jackknife. I've always had a thing for wood handles. No pictures, but I have a 110 or 112 on my belt everyday, another traditional in my pocket (today it's a Schatt and Morgan gunstock stockman), and a Streamlight microstream or Thrunite T01 in the other pocket. I always have my bag with me which has more junk I can't leave home without....
 
+ 1 on jackknife's northwoods. Always enjoyed seeing that one pop up in his post .
I don't carry a lot of gear but it's pretty "normal" to carry more than one knife in my pockets. I keep a o1 bullnose in the truck

The only time the Peanut and Maratac aren't in my pocket is when I'm asleep. The SAK is carried Mon-Fri at work. The P38 and 4-Way are in the wallet, and a spare AAA is tucked into the elastic band on the back of the wallet. Small, lightweight, unobtrusive, capable.

In the car is a Leatherman Sidekick, a 10mm and 12mm box end wrench, a multimeter, a gallon of water, and jumper cables. :p:D
 
if im in scrubs, its mostly just my wallet, some change, a pen and my phone. on my off days is when I have more secure pockets for my knives and goodies
 


I carry most of this stuff in an old nite ize pock-its on my right side, the Leatherman on my left side, plus whatever knives I've got on me that week.
Of course i don't go anywhere without my hat, and I've always got a watch on my wrist.
 
This is pretty indicative of what I have on my person every day. Though it doesn't count the stuff in my pack, which I also keep with me every day.

I love it, and find it interesting that people are carrying the small keychain screw drivers. :thumbsup:

My uses are fulfilled better by the little Vic version as the drivers are more precise , but my dad loves the Sears 4-way format probably for the same reasons you prefer it.

No matter what make you carry, Vic or Sear's, it's a good thing to have. Both will do, it just comes down to personal preference. A keychain screw driver and a P-38 can get you a long way. Toss in a small but sharp pocket knife and you're pretty set. The Vic Quattro has better Phillips drivers, I just wish it was a bit larger, like the Sears for a better grip with older less able fingers.

I used to have an air Force version that my dad got before he settled on the ARMY ,and it was pretty much exactly what you're looking for. I gave it to my cousin who was in the air Force though
What I didn't like about it was that it wasn't just the driver, but was attached via an eyelet to what I can only describe as a disk which had all of the engraving on it.
 
Wallet. Keys. Vic Alox Mini Champ on the key ring. Two pens. Notepad. Reading glasses. Phone. Earphone/mic combo. Case Peanut. Usually some other small folder - today was a GEC 15.
 
Folks, This isn't the place for a pocket dump thread. This is the place to talk about traditional knives. Since there are other subforums which already have pocket dump threads, I'm going to close this one instead of moving it.
